Published by Abrams, Earth From Space features more than 150 magnificent satellite photographs provided by European aerospace technology company Astrium as well as NASA. These photographs are much more than beautiful pictures of our planet - the detailed images can inform us about the health of our world by making clear the impact of deforestation, farming, pollution and urban sprawl.

Number 4 is a very lovely picture of Windsor, Ontario, and a tiny sliver of Detroit, on the left hand side of the photo. Detroit itself has fewer than 750,000 people, although the metro area is much larger. I imagine it would look amazing in a picture like that, as it is laid out in a wagon-wheel configuration, with a street grid overlaid. Got one of those?
